I'm the founder and I'm blocked out of my channel. Help!

You can first try this command if you are not banned from the channel:

Code:

/msg chanserv clear #channel modes

If you are still not able to join, you can try the commands below according to the error messages in bold:

#channel unable to join channel (invite only)

Code:

/msg chanserv invite #channel

#channel unable to join channel (need correct key)

Code:

/msg chanserv getkey #channel

You will get a message from chanserv similar to the one below:

Code:

-ChanServ- KEY #channel this_is_the_key

You can then join the channel by using the following command:

Code:

/join #channel this_is_the_key

#channel unable to join channel (channel is full)

Code:

/msg chanserv set #channel mlock -l

Note: this command will remove your previous locked modes.

#channel Cannot join channel (SSL is required)

Code:

/msg chanserv set #channel mlock -S

Note: this command will remove your previous locked modes.

#channel unable to join channel (address is banned)

Code:

/msg chanserv unban #channel

This one can get a little tricky if someone in your channel runs a bot/script to replace the ban automatically after chanserv removing it. If the error message persists, you can use the following command to check who is replacing the ban:

Code:

/msg chanserv checkban #channel

You will get a message from chanserv similar to the one below:

Code:

-ChanServ- The ban nick!ident@yourhost.com set by some_nick prevents you from joining #channel.

You can then either choose to talk to some_nick, or remove his op/halfop access.
